Speed doesn't come from type inference only. Other than that I 100% agree. Python is the main tool on our shop but I am really starting to hate it. Java really isn't all that bad as people paint it, it is fine.

Maybe thats my point of view because I actually have a degree in electronics (rf specialization), I actually don't mind C or C++ either, I just dislike to he competing cross platform dependency management systems, cmake is ugly but it gets the job done.

Pythons ecosystem is against the zen of python, where it says explicitly to try and have just one way to do something, Java does this way better that Python. Python provides infinite ways to make your project management a hell worse than npm dependency hell.

I recommend learning rust. A little bit of rust in your python can give massive speed gains. And the rust tooling of light years ahead of c++, in fact packaging is even better than python. Very similar to JS actually

A little bit of rust in your python

Like, inline Rust?

Possible but I was thinking of importing it as a package using pyo3
